Compose key with XFCE
The compose key is very useful to type special letters that are not on keyboard (letters with accents for ex.):
compose
+,
+c
= ç
There is no menu entry in the keyboard layout for the compose key in XFCE. You have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
, and add it in the “InputDevice” section:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "fr" Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch, compose:rwin“
Here I choose right win key. You can choose the one you want (lwin, ralt, caps…). Restart X with CTRL-ALT-Backspace.
